Amazing tour with Aitor

Excursion...

TadeuSavio_F, Nov 2025

Unforgettable excursion through Biscay! It has been a wonderful experience from Bilbao, touring spectacular places like San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, Mundaka and Gernika, with a delicious tasting of Txakoli. Our driver Cristian, a true pilot, made the journey comfortable and safe. And Aman, the guide, was a charming person: friendly, attentive and knowledgeable that made the visit even more interesting. Highly recommended! An excursion of ten. ????

Exceptional Tour Visiting a Variety of Interesting Locations

Gregory_H, Nov 2025

Though there was a bit of confusion at the beginning as to which group ours was, thankfully everything worked out fine. Our guide, Stephan, provided key information on the places to visit, the order of visits, and so forth. Our first stop was Gaztelugatxe, or as HBO fans will recall “Dragonstone”. Stephan rightly informed us the hike would be strenuous and everyone accepting the hiking “challenge” needed to keep time in mind as the hike out could take 25+ minutes and would be tiresome due to the downward incline and number of steps up to the top while the return trip could easily take 40+ minutes repeating the numerous steps down along with a hike “back up” on a steep incline. He also highly recommended we take water along with. He wasn’t kidding, while it was well worth it for the captivating views, etc., it was grueling work, reminding us we could do for a bit more exercise once we returned home—a great workout for sure. Our next stop was Bermeo, which was a quant little town. While there wasn’t a lot of time to explore the town, we did get to try the local “buns” which had a sweet, buttery taste; hereafter, thereafter, we headed to Gernika, where the visit was informative, but too short…would’ve loved to visit the museum. Hereafter, off to Mundaka we went where the sea fairing town was quant. Again, not a lot of time here, but did enjoy some local seafood, etc. After this visit, we proceeded to our final spot, the Bodega Berroja where we were able to try some of the local wine. By and far, while you always want more time to visit each location, it was an enjoyable experience overall. Would definitely recommend. Also, thanks to our driver, John, we made it to each location and home safely.
